*something clever goes here*  
Is it too soon for me to talk you some more about [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised again and how the sign ups open on August 1st?

Yeah? Well, okay.

I'll just talk to you about mirrors and how they freak me out.

I always clean the mirrors as fast as I can because I'm afraid the mirror is going to look at me. You know, like "Yeah, I'm not just a reflexion, I'm LOOKING at you." Mirrors are freaky.

But you know what's not freaky? The Mirror of Erised. :D But I said I wouldn't mention [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised again (and how the sign ups open August 1st).

But I will remind you that claliming is open at [livejournal.com profile] hp_crossgenfest. :D

come join [livejournal.com profile] hp_crossgenfest!

In other news, no, don't ask me how I ran into it, I just saw an add of Gay of Thrones. o.O I admit, I'm curious. LOL

Happy Friday!

LOL, love the title. Honestly trying to come up with a subject line is the hardest part of a post.

But yay for [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised and [livejournal.com profile] hp_crossgenfest!!

♥ ♥ ♥

Isn't it??? Sometimes I have a post ready and I'm like *staring* at the subject line for ages. :D It's ridiculous. lol

SO MUCH YAY!

I saw that add too! I may have to watch it since Colby Keller is in it.

Mirrors are awesome as far as fodder for my horror imagination. XD I don't think I'll be signing up for erised because my muse isn't functioning on demand atm, but I'm looking forward to seeing who does sign up for it.
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 18th, 2014 09:41 pm (UTC)
You did? It looks good, yeah? :D I was impressed! And stuff. LOL

Mirrors are freaky, they are. *nods* I look at them, but I always get this feeling that if I look too long something is going to happen and that person is going to look at me. Great stuff for horror though!

Awww, come on! There's still time to think about it. And you know, it's 1,500 words min and you have until Nov to finish! :D

Yay, I'm excited for Erised! ♥

Now I want to see Gay of Thrones! :D

Mirrors (or any reflection) are creepy! They steal your soul, you know? At least that's what my grandmother would say.

And even though I don't believe it, this photo is real.

Image

The official explanation is the boy blinked when the picture was taken, but as you can see his reflection does not show any closed eyes. Basically, it’s because this particular digital camera scans and records images from left to right.
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 18th, 2014 09:51 pm (UTC)
Erised is going to be super! ♥♥♥

And Gay of Throes seems like it is super. I saw it twice, in two different sites. No, don't ask! :D

Oh my god, that pic. :O An explanation as any, doesn't make it less creepy.

No one told me mirrors steal your soul (thanks for that btw! LOL), but still, there's something creepy about them. Maybe, omg, lost souls are there trying to come out. Geez!
[identity profile] susannah-wilde.livejournal.com on July 18th, 2014 09:57 pm (UTC)
Yeah, that's why after every funeral we would cover all the mirrors so that it doesn't invite death to stay. Then there was always that fear of looking at your reflection and seeing the decesed trying to take your body.

Then again, my mother's family practiced brujeria and that's some crazy shit right there.
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 18th, 2014 10:09 pm (UTC)
Huh. Never heard any of that, probably for the best, too. ^^

Scary stuff.
[identity profile] sassy-cissa.livejournal.com on July 18th, 2014 10:19 pm (UTC)
Yay for [livejournal.com profile] hd_erised!! Soooo excited for soooo many reasons.

And Yay for signups on August 1...although boo that I'll already be at work *sobs like a baby and plans*

I'm not fond of mirrors, but more because I look in them and go "who is that old woman?" :P

*adores*

Oh and your subject line is the best!!! ♥
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 18th, 2014 10:26 pm (UTC)
!!! It'll be awesome!

Plot woman, plot! <3 You can do it!

Yes, subject line is simple and to the point. :D
birdsofshore[personal profile] birdsofshore on July 18th, 2014 10:20 pm (UTC)
MIRRORS? Wtf are you all on about? The only spooky thing about mirrors is how freaking atrocious I look when I wake up in the morning. And, most of the rest of the day, but we'll gloss over that ;-D

I'll tell you what's scary. DOLLS. DOLLS WITH EMPTY EYE SOCKETS. OR DOLLS WITH NOT EMPTY EYE SOCKETS. Creepy and horrifying. OK, imagine if you looked in the mirror and A DOLL WITH EMPTY EYE SOCKETS WAS LOOKING BACK AT YOU?
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 18th, 2014 10:27 pm (UTC)
Didn't you see? MIRROS CAN STEAL YOUR SOUL!!!!

What's a doll going to do? They're small and made of plastic.

I loved dolls! In fact, I used to erase their eyebrows (with nail polish remover) and do them over. Okay, those dolls were scary, but I loved them! I also painted their nails and gave them haircuts and generally was the NIGHTMARE of Toy's Story.
birdsofshore[personal profile] birdsofshore on July 18th, 2014 10:29 pm (UTC)
A doll is going to wait until you're asleep, and then, I don't know, probably eat your brains or something. Or sew your mouth shut. Or STEAL YOUR PERSONALITY AND WEAR YOUR CLOTHES AND TALK TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

OMG, capitu, tell me something only I would know! is that really you, or is it a doll that possessed you while you were asleep? O___O
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 18th, 2014 10:37 pm (UTC)
It's me!!!!!

OR IS IT?

soudtrack comment!
birdsofshore[personal profile] birdsofshore on July 18th, 2014 10:53 pm (UTC)
OMG, that's fabulous. I'm stealing that, forever.

but listen, I'm not talking to you any more until I can find out if you are actually a spooky no-eyed doll monster, or capitu.

I'm going to have to think of a test for you.
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 12:33 pm (UTC)
You might never know, are you SCARED??

birdsofshore[personal profile] birdsofshore on July 19th, 2014 04:05 pm (UTC)
I don't want to say. I'll only tell the REAL capitu.
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 06:53 pm (UTC)
You changed your name!!!!!! :O:O:O

LOLOL
birdsofshore[personal profile] birdsofshore on July 19th, 2014 07:23 pm (UTC)
Ah, now I know it's the real you, LOL!
[identity profile] ashindk.livejournal.com on July 19th, 2014 10:00 am (UTC)
Scary dolls, you say? Like this one? I don't know why, but my sweet innocent baby boy decided that one of his dolls needed to go to hospital....

capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 11:40 am (UTC)
OH MY GOD. WHY!!! :O
[identity profile] ashindk.livejournal.com on July 19th, 2014 11:49 am (UTC)
*shrugs* my children. They scare me sometimes. But they haven't murdered me in my sleep. Yet.
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 12:08 pm (UTC)
LOL I wasn't that creative when I was a kid. :D Mostly gave haircuts to my dolls. :)
birdsofshore[personal profile] birdsofshore on July 19th, 2014 04:05 pm (UTC)
OH MY LORD! *faints*
[identity profile] blithelybonny.livejournal.com on July 18th, 2014 11:17 pm (UTC)
I am deeply excited for both Erised and CrossGen!
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 11:40 am (UTC)
Do them!!!! :D:D:D Please? <3333
[identity profile] blithelybonny.livejournal.com on July 19th, 2014 11:56 am (UTC)
I definitely already snagged a CrossGen, and if I can get my arse in gear, I'm planning on signing up for Erised. :)
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 12:07 pm (UTC)
YAYAYAY! \o/\o/\o/

Literally dancing all over the place!!!! :D:D:D
[identity profile] blithelybonny.livejournal.com on July 19th, 2014 12:37 pm (UTC)
Dances with you! <3
[identity profile] anemonen.livejournal.com on July 18th, 2014 11:33 pm (UTC)
Yay, I'm so excited about Erised! That fest was going when I joined this winter and it's the first one I followed and it was sooo good! I'm sure this year will be just as awesome :D I want to join at crossgen too if I find a prompt that fits, but they're all so kinky so far:P That promises good stuff for the fest, though!

What is Gay of Thrones? In a bit behind on things obviously. Sounds fun LOLOL!
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 12:01 pm (UTC)
Cross Gen is kinky! I've been seeing those prompts, and yep, it's going to be fun. But you can do it! :D

And you have to do erised! :D *prods*

Gay of Thrones. Actually, that's just a gay porn movie inspired by the series. Kind of like that Harry/Draco porn movie from a while back.

In fact, here are snapshots of the add. Not Safe For Work AT ALL:

Haha, I supposed it was only a matter of time before someone made that. The source material does have plenty of potential for gay porn:P now I'm a bit curious too LOLOL!
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 01:20 pm (UTC)
It has, right? XD I wasn't even that surprised! lol Far more shocked when I saw the Harry/Draco one. ^^
[identity profile] anemonen.livejournal.com on July 19th, 2014 02:39 pm (UTC)
Well, we all know the potential for porn with Harry and Draco, don't we XD

For all who want to have a closer look on GAY OF THROWNS, here is a link:

http://www.funnyordie.com/topic/gay-of-thrones

hd_erised is very tempting, but I'm so afraid of disappointing the one I would be writing for. Or, worse, not being able to come up with an idea at all. And, more worse, having everyone thinking: God, awful, why didn't she leave the spot for someone else who knows what he's doing?

I like the way mirrors have been inspiring authors until today. Think of the talking mirror in Snowwhite... They can be used for so many (magical) tasks one otherwise would need muggle devices for.

And yes, terrible things can live inside / on the other side of them. Like the ever darkening shadows under my eyes or the three or four grey hairs that always seem to stuck up like a cockatoo's head-feathers.

Btw: Isn't that one of the great miracles of life? Why do grey hairs have so much more energy than their coloured colleagues?
*ponders and chews pencil*
capitu[personal profile] capitu on July 19th, 2014 12:06 pm (UTC)
I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing at all. LOL

The Gay of Thrones I saw was... well. See comment above. (There are pictures!) :D

I understand that exchange fests can be a bit intimidating, but in reality they don't have to be quite so. You're doing something for someone, yeah? And that person is going to love what you did for them just as you'll love what someone did for you, and having fun in the process. It's stressing, but it can be amazing fun, is all I'm saying. <3

As for the grey hair, yeah, yeah! What's up with that? I wish all the hairs were that resistant! lol
